double for loop problem

Hi Guys, sorry to bother you with a stupid question, but I'm struggling here,... I have two arrayes with nn- number of columns,... in the first array.1 are the "values" and in the second array.2 are the "error for the values in the first array",... i.e. array.1(:,1) and array.2(:,1) belong together,... and i'm trying to make a simple loop which would put the values in one array together with the associated erros in the following way,...

results = array.1(:,1) , array.2(:,1), array.1(:,2), array.2(:,2),..... array.1(:,nn), array.2(:,nn) % i.e. the 1st column from array.1, the 2nd column is the 1st column from array.2, the 3rd column is the 2nd from array.1, the 4th column is the 2nd from array.2, etc.,...

for that i wrote the following script but it doesn't work, or it works in the way i don't want,...
 
results= [];
nn=4
n=nn.*2;

for jj=1:1:nn
for kk=1:2:n
spfit_dsp (:,kk) = spfit1_dsp (:,jj);
spfit_dsp (:,kk+1) = spfit1_dsp_err (:,jj);
 
end
end

  At first glance I see nothing wrong with your for-loop solution (except that you haven't put its results into 'results'. However 'reshape' offers a shorter solution.

 results = reshape([spfit1_dsp;spfit1_dsp_err],size(spfit1_dsp,1),[]);

Hi Roger,

problem is that by runing above script the "results" array contains only the nn-th columns from both arrays,... it looks that that "double for loop" doesn't run correctly (i.e. it is not wrriten correctly),... the "results" arrays currently looks like this: (if nn=4) results = array.1(:,nn-th), array.2(:,nn-th), array.1(:,nn-th), array.2(:,nn-th, etc.,... only the last columns from both arrays are there,...

  Yes, my "first glance" was not careful enough. (I'll blame it on old age.) This is really a problem for a single for-loop:

for jj=1:nn
 spfit_dsp(:,2*jj-1) = spfit1_dsp(:,jj);
 spfit_dsp(:,2*jj) = spfit1_dsp_err(:,jj);
end

  I still think you would like the 'reshape' solution once you get used to it.
